Wayne Rooney left his fellow BBC pundits in giggles after retelling a story about Micah Richards from the pair’s playing days.
The two former England internationals were part of the studio team for the FA Cup Final alongside Gary Lineker and during the pre-match conversations, were asked about their time together in Manchester as young Premier League footballers.
Rooney and Richards were big names for either side of Manchester, and the former England striker recalled seeing his former rival during one of their nights out.
However, this wasn’t from when the pair were frequenting one of Manchester’s popular nightclubs or bars, but it was chance meeting in a local Chinese takeaway.
A meeting that Rooney joked down to Richards celebrating a particular milestone, one that saw the four former footballers in hysterics in the studio.
